Linux Kernel 4.3 on Ubuntu

Linux Kernel 4.3 ships with 20.6 million lines of code with support for Skylake lines of CPU by Intel. So Skylake based hardware can run efficiently with good stability.

The performance improvement is noticeable on some hardware’s running this build of Kernel on Ubuntu based Linux distributions (I have not worked on this personally these are according to user reports).

This is a stable release, Linux Kernel 4.4 will be the LTS (Long Term Service) build currently in RC-2.

The steps below can be used on Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based Linux distributions to upgrade the Kernel.
